Quarterly themed Class Projects (grade 9)
Each quarter there will be a theme such a 'Celebrating Diversity' which will have multiple tasks to sign up for to "make it happen" and "make a difference"!

Quarterly Theory Research Assignments (grades 10-12)

Each quarter, choose one Leadership Topic from the Menu in the Course Outline Document or determine your own (including sharing about something you do outside of school).
Create a power point (or alternate representation of what you learned checked with us) to “teach” someone else about the topic:
- Approximately 5-10 slides including the title slide
- Include a final slide with a list of resources where you found your information
- Have a picture on each slide to relate to the content
- Avoid information overload and summarize information into bulleted information
- Focus on student leadership where possible
- Some topics are large… feel free to focus on a sub-topic of the larger one if needed
Upload your assignment to the correct assignment location in Google Classroom
Let us know if we have your permission to share it with others

Quarterly Team Leadership Project (grades 10-12)

In your ‘group’ for the quarter determine a project idea-- Use the menu in the Course Outline to get you started
Determine your time commitment level to match to the scope of the project chosen
Determine your Goldilocks zone… project to help you stretch and grown but not get totally overwhelmed (may change depending on the quarter)
Engage in the Planning Process (see video and guide) to help your team determine roles and a plan to implement your project and divide the load
Implement and follow-through on your project
Reflect on your project in Google Classroom with the following question prompt suggestions:

1) What Role did you play in this project?
2) What did you do during this project to stretch yourself a bit more and learn something new?
3) How did you use something you learned from your theory research?
4) What is something you are proud of with this project?
5) How did this project help others?
6) If you did this again or you would advise someone who does it in the future, what would you do the same, different? Why?
